On the heels of its First Turtle Figure, Mondo has provided ROBOT 6 with an exclusive first look at its First Hellboy statue, based on Mike Mignola’s original 1991 convention illustration of a demon.
While the character that debuted some two years later bears little resemblance to that figure, Mignola apparently knew he was onto something with the name on the belt buckle: “Hellboy.”
Mondo’s 12-inch statue showcases many of the details of that 24-year-old drawing, from the fish and crab dangling from Hellboy’s belt to the vulture perching on his wings to the demon’s body hair.
Mignola’s longtime collaborator Dave Stewart was also recruited to devise the color scheme.
The statue will be available in in two versions: one with the red color scheme, the other a Mondo website-exclusive black-and-white illustration variant. Look for ordering details soon from Mondo.
